The Chase Edinburgh contestant receives subtle dig from teammate after beating the chaser

A woman from Edinburgh is the latest contestant to beat the chaser on ITV's The Chase.

Katie, 31, went head to head with Chaser Jenny Ryan, known as The Vixen, on Wednesday (January 18) and fired through tough questions in the final round.

She walked away with a third of the prize money after a tense interaction with a fellow player. The project manager said she would spend her £6,000 winnings on a trip to London.

It comes after a tense exchange was made between Katie and other contestant Jill.

Jill powered through her cash builder and was offered a whopping £10,000 to be added to the prize fund. Before she stepped up to the podium to take on the Chaser, Jill turned to her teammates for advice as to which offer to take.

As expected, her teammates rallied around her as they unanimously suggested that she stick with her original £10k offer.

Katie gushed: "Your cash builder is one of the best I've ever seen and so you should have the confidence to go for the 10 and come back, we really need you and your knowledge."

Jill joked that even without Katie's help the team could still take home an eye-watering £25,000 with her cash builder alone as she selected the middle offer.

She said: "Minus four I couldn't go north for that and 50 is really tempting but £25,000, without Katie even, is fantastic so £10,000 please Jenny."

It came after Katie won £3,000 for the prize fund. However Jill was soon booted off after the chaser caught her in the round.

Earlier in the episode, the project manager from Edinburgh University told host Bradley that if she won she would take a trip to London to see her favourite musical, Six.

Bradley congratulated them with: "You were a great team, even having lost Jill who was a ten, so it can be done!"

The Chase in on STV and Stv player at 5pm Monday to Friday.
